PPMA Show: ABB to Highlight IRB 460 Palletising Robot
Be sure to visit ABB's stand (F42) at The PPMA Show. Exhibiting with packaging system specialist and ABB system integrator, RM Group UK Ltd, ABB will be showcasing key features of its IRB 460 robot, said to be the ‘fastest palletising robot in the world.
This robot takes the lead in ABBs comprehensive palletising suite and is capable of up to 2,190 cycles per hour, making it perfect for high-speed end-of-line palletising and bag palletising. The IRB 460 occupies 20 percent less floor space and runs 15 percent faster than its nearest rivals.
The stand will also include more information about ABBs range of palletizing robots, grippers, plus its easy-to-use programming software, RobotStudio Palletising PowerPac. Designed to make palletising simpler, faster and more efficient, this PC-based program allows users to configure, simulate and program ABB robots and grippers for palletising solutions, with little or no robot programming experience required.
An ABB system integrator, RM Group specialises in the supply and manufacture of a wide range of manual & automated packaging systems. As well as ABBs IRB460, RMs stand will also feature its own range of manual bagging machines, palletising systems, bulk filling and material handling systems, plus its mobile packaging system.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
